One cannot annex one's sovereign territory. The West Bank and Gaza were within Israel's borders as of the declaration of statehood in 1948. The West Bank was occupied by Jordan and Gaza by Egypt in their aggressive war in 1948. It was recovered in 1967.

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒚𝒓𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝑻𝒓𝒐𝒚𝒆𝒔: 𝑨 𝑭𝒂𝒃𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝑩𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝑳𝒊𝒃𝒆𝒍 𝒊𝒏 1288 —————- On 24 April 1288, thirteen prominent members of the Jewish community in Troyes, France, were burned alive at the stake. The executions followed a classic blood libel accusation in which Jews stood falsely charged with the ritual murder of a Christian child to use the blood in Passover rites. The events unfolded during Passover that year, which overlapped with Christian Holy Week. On Good Friday, 26 March 1288, a Christian corpse was secretly placed in the home of Isaac Châtelain, a respected Jewish scholar, property owner, Talmud commentator and community leader. The planted body triggered an immediate investigation by Franciscan and Dominican inquisitors. Armed Christians ransacked Jewish homes, and the wider community faced imminent massacre. To avert total destruction of Troyes Jewry, thirteen individuals, largely from the wealthier strata and including several from the Châtelain family, confessed to the fabricated crime. Isaac Châtelain, his pregnant wife, their two sons, and daughter-in-law were among them. The others included Samson (his son-in-law), Solomon son of Phebus, Simon the scribe and cantor, Jonah (Colon), Isaac Cohen, Hayyim of Brinon, Hayyim of Chaource, and additional men of standing. The condemned were led to the public square. Bound to stakes amid piles of wood and kindling, they faced the flames. The execution was recorded in an anonymous Old French elegy and a Hebrew seliḥah (penitential prayer) written by Jacob ben Judah of Lorraine, preserving harrowing details. One son cried out in terror as the fire took hold: “Aaron, I am on fire!” His brother comforted him, saying he was heading to paradise. Isaac Châtelain went first, leaving behind his home and wealth. The flames consumed the group on 24 April 1288. Their bodies were reduced to ash in a public spectacle intended to affirm the libel. The Jewish community traditionally commemorates the martyrdom on the 20th of Iyar in the Hebrew calendar (5048), a date that some modern sources render as 20 May 1288 for reference. This explains the occasional variation in dating: 24 April 1288 marks the actual day of the burnings in the Julian calendar then in use, while 20 Iyar serves as the fixed liturgical anniversary. No evidence supported the charge. The episode formed part of a pattern of blood libels across medieval Europe, often timed to Easter or Passover and exploited for financial gain, social control, or mob violence. In Troyes, the selection of richer victims suggests motives of extortion alongside religious hatred. The community survived at the cost of these lives, but the trauma endured in elegies recited for centuries. This atrocity stands as one of the documented medieval instances where a blood libel directly produced judicial murder by burning, a fate shared with earlier victims in Blois in 1171 and others across France and beyond.

A higher percentage of Jews were killed or expelled than Arabs during the Nakba. Even according to the Arabs, they are the one who started the war after rejecting the partition plan. So why is it considered a purely Arab tragedy rather than another genocidal war against the Jews?

He was not Jewish, nor was he a Zionist. He was a French Catholic novelist born into a modest family and living in financial hardship. Émile Zola did not have to defend Alfred Dreyfus and could have stayed silent like so many in the New York Times, media, and academia today. Zola could have stayed quiet while mobs screamed “Death to the Jews” across France, like they scream free Palestine or genocide, today across campuses. He could have protected his career, his reputation, and his safety. But he spoke out because he cared about the truth. Why do so few have the same courage as Zola today?

In March 1944, Germany occupied Hungary. Jozsef was taken away for forced labor on the first day of Passover that year. #OTD19 May 1944, while he was home on leave, he took a pair of scissors and wept as he cut the sidecurls off all four of his sons. His son Moshe recalled, "He wanted to do it himself rather than let the Germans do it.” A few days later, Jozsef reported back to the Hungarian Army, never to return.

100% there is no genocide in Gaza. No eradication project. People confused about what the word means is culturally appalling and dangerous for the future of western society. The confusion has indeed been engineered by people know what they are doing. No genocide does not mean simply too much death and destruction in war. It is about intent and action to destroy a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group, in whole or in part. Sam Harris @MakingSenseHQ is spot on.

And this is why the Left have been collaborating which each other to post ridiculous conspiracy theories about “dog rape” etc because they knew this was coming and wanted to get ahead of it. The horrors that Palestinian Terrorists performed on Israelis are undeniably some of the worst atrocities ever witnessed

Absolutely horrific, and even worse than we already knew, which I didn’t think possible. Including clear evidence of appalling sex crimes by Hamas which their deluded defenders have always denied.
